The field guide / Scoring
Common answers.
Higher scores.
More common answers earn more points. Learn the fixed scoring rules shared by Daily and unlimited practice.
01 / The points
Every answer has its place.
An accepted answer’s rank in the question’s list sets its score.
| Answer rank | Points per round |
|---|---|
| 1The top-ranked answer | 100 |
| 2–4 | 64 |
| 5–9 | 32 |
| 10–19 | 16 |
| 20–39 | 8 |
| 40+ | 4 |
| Skip or timeout | 0 |
Answers given by more players rank higher.
02 / Your total
Seven rounds. One simple total.
Each accepted answer earns points from its fixed rank in the question’s answer list. Add all seven round scores for a total of up to 700. Answering faster does not earn extra points. Daily and unlimited practice use the same scoring rules, but keep separate results.
An example game
- R1100
- R264
- R332
- R48
- R50
- R64
- R70
208 / 700
Think carefully. Speed adds no points. A listed answer submitted before the answering window ends earns the same points whether it takes 2 seconds or 12.
03 / Finding a match
What counts as a match?
Capitalization and extra ordinary spaces do not change a match. Plurals, spelling variants and synonyms are accepted only when explicitly listed for that question. Punctuation and accents are preserved. There is no fuzzy matching or live AI judging. A listed alias earns the same rank and points as its standard answer.
Formatting example
APPLE appleThese normalize to the same text. They only score if that answer is listed for the current question.
Not listed? You can try again.
An unlisted answer does not end the round and is not necessarily wrong; the answer list can miss a reasonable response. Try another answer while answering time remains. Your first accepted answer ends the round. Skipping or running out of time earns zero. Submitting pauses the answering clock while the request is processed; an unlisted response resumes the remaining time.
Who decides what is common?
Answers given by more players rank higher.
Your score moves the scenery.
The journey has six stages, starting at 0, 100, 200, 300, 450 and 600 points. Reaching 700 completes the final stage. The scenery reflects your cumulative score; loading an image or playing an animation cannot change your points.
Something look off?
Use the feedback control attached to your submitted answer to report a missing answer, an unexpected match or a ranking concern. Reporting does not pause the clock or change your current score. Feedback can inform future question versions; existing games keep their original versions and are not automatically rescored.
